Mr President

Mr. President Poise, grace, calm, cool and collected Standing tall in the nation among nations At times disrespected, call him what you may He is still standing tall at the end of the day. Nothing is going to change the fact That he is a political genius and yes he is Black. He’s Black, White and Brown, Holding this country down. Seldom do you see a frown. Highly educated and widely celebrated To our country he is loyal and greatly dedicated. The challenges to the office is vast and critical The playing field would be level if the issues were just political But small minded people biggest issues are racial They chant I want my country back What other president has gotten this flack. To lead us he has to walk through a mind field. Many people don’t want to yield. But that’s ok. This is the USA. We have the choice of voting our way. He’s up against birthers’ rumors And racial tumors. Born on US soil, going through bigotry and turmoil He didn’t dodge the draft He has a silent and quick wrath. He is making decisions, Despite the country’s political divisions. Compassionate for his country Nothing will change the fact that he is making history Call him this, and call him that. Discuss his origination Nothing will change the fact that in 2008 – 2012 he is president of this great nation. Judge him on principles and decisions made Not by your small mentality and prejudicial ways. He is standing strong, standing tall Representing this country, Thinking of us all. Dealing with oil spills And health care bills A war in Iraq and Afghanistan He even dealt with Bin Laden in Pakistan. He wakes up running attacking the issues at hand He’s an awesome man; the leader of this great land.
